Uptown United today announced the return of the Argyle Night Market, Chicago's only weekly night market, for its 12th season. Running every Thursday evening from July 2 through August 27, the beloved summer tradition will return with an expanded footprint, more than 50 vendors, and weekly cultural performances celebrating Uptown's vibrant Asian and immigrant communities.

"This year, we're excited to welcome even more vendors, performers, and visitors as we continue to showcase the incredible diversity and energy of our neighborhood."

Inspired by traditional Asian night markets, the event prioritizes AANHPI-owned businesses, artists, and performers while creating opportunities for emerging small businesses and local organizations to connect with thousands of attendees throughout the summer.
